I read. I read a lot. I do not necessarily read as fast as the folks that can power through a book in a weekend, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of it nonetheless. Part of this reading occurs during my daily commute. Recently, I managed to grab a copy of the WikiLeaks [...]
Please bear with me as I type this review directly on the iPad — on Pages to be copied into WordPress — while reclining on the sofa. Although I have used it in a number of other ways, my intent right now is to get a good feel for using it in this particular real-life [...]
Over the weekend I made a tweet that several people asked about: Basically, they wanted to know how to convert DRM protected Kindle books over to ePub books that will work on the iPad. I love the fact that Amazon was able to release a Kindle app for the iPad on the very first day, [...]
I have had a Kindle for a few months now and really enjoy it. I have been reading like I’ve never read before! The size and convenience are great and, for many texts, far outweighs the longevity and space requirements of paper books (even though I love having shelves and shelves of book spines to [...]
So it turns out that there is a hidden cost to the Amazon Kindle. I have been reading quite a lot more in the past few months. A typical weekday routine might have been staring at computer screens all day at work, coming home, doing a few chores, helping out with dinner, then watching a [...]
As you may or may not know, I got myself a Kindle a few months back. To be more specific, it was the Kindle DX — a bit more expensive, but the bigger screen and native PDF support was more than worth it in my case. My thought at the time was that it would [...]

It ran, and continues to run in some [...]
I’ll be blogging about the great time I had at ARGfest soon, but this particular bit of news was just too laced with irony to pass up… I do not know if you have read the biggest piece of irony in recent (or perhaps ever) tech news but in case you have not, let me [...]
When the blog was the only outlet for typed thoughts and shared comments, everything got posted here (or, technicall, over at LiveJournal, as that was my blog long, long before I moved it here.) Now that we have Twitter and Facebook and whatnot, those thoughts get scattered throughout the internets. In an effort to graft [...]
What I have seen of the Kindle 2′s design makes it an enviable device to gadget-lover-Brian. While the first Kindle looked like it was made by Tandy, this updated one looks like it came straight out of Cupertino. It almost looks like an oversized iPod Touch, seamlessly melded with a keyboard, and large enough to [...]
